A very warm welcome to St Peter’s and St Paul’s, a vibrant Anglican community on the outskirts of Southeast London.

Our vision is to play a central part in the life of Hextable and Swanley Village and, as a member of the New Wine network, we are a church seeking to equip and resource the wider Christian community in and around the Kent area.

St Paul's, located in Swanley Village is a beautiful mid-nineteenth century Victorian church set in the grounds of the picturesque Glebe and it's wonderful setting makes it very popular as a wedding venue

The services held at St Paul's are traditional in style, offering a place of quiet, contemplative and prayerful reflection.

There is a communion service following the order of Common Worship for Holy Communion held at 8.30am each Sunday and an evening service held at 6.30pm except for the second Sunday of every month when we hold a Family Service at 10.30am. The church is also open on a Saturday morning for anyone to come and have a look around this beautiful building

Swanley: St Mary

Swanley Swanley

http://www.swanleyparish.org.uk

St Mary the Virgin Swanley serves the town of Swanley, building up the Kingdom of God through Word, Sacrament and service.  It is firmly anchored in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England and is a Forward in Faith parish, under the Episcopal care of the Bishop of Richborough.

 

On Sundays, our Parish Mass is sung at 10am, and we have Benediction at 5pm.

There are no services on Monday. 

Mass times during the week are:

Tuesday 7.30pm,

Wednesday 11.30am,

Thursday 10am,

Friday 11am,

Saturday 10am.

Sometimes these service times have to change, please consult the noticeboard by the main doors for any changes this week.

 

Arrangements for banns of marriage, baptisms and weddings are all dealt with after the Sunday 10am Mass.

 

Those seeking marriage should make enquiries at an early stage: we marry those who live in the parish, are on the church's electoral roll or have a long-standing link with the Church.  Where either or both parties have been married before, we offer a service of prayer after a civil wedding and full details can be obtained from the vicar.

 

Baptisms are usually at 12 noon on Sunday, though they can be incorporated into the sung Mass, if that is appropriate.  Preparation is a key part of the parish's approach to this important Sacrament.

 

Our links with the town's observances - for instance at Christmas or on Remembrance Sunday - are a vital part of our commitment to our town and people.  We greatly value these opportunities to share together in prayer and worship.
